Help Make the Web Fair: Send MacFail Your Tips
It has been estimated that a) everyone knows at least 2.56 people who use Macs*, and b) Macs fail about 1.81 times every day*. This, put simply, means that there are allot of failures each day.
MacFail would like to highlight the best (worst) of these FAILs - and you can help. When you see a crashed Mac, a horror story about Apple support, or a crazy Apple fanboy spreading propaganda, send MacFail a tip!
There are two ways to do this:
- Send an email to tips {at} macfail.com
- Send a tweet to @macfail
Thanks!
